Which States Have Decriminalized Marijuana Possession? By Chris Suellentrop Wednesday, Feb. 14, 2001, at 1:05 p.m. PT New Mexico Gov. Gary Johnson, a Republican, has sent to the state legislature a bill that would decriminalize possession of 1 ounce of marijuana. The New York Times reported today that 10 other states have already done that. Which states are they? And what does it mean to "decriminalize possession"? The states are Alaska, California, Colorado, Nebraska, New York, North Carolina, Maine, Minnesota, Ohio, and Oregon. These state legislatures (except Alaska's) decriminalized marijuana possession in the 1970s. Oregon was the first, in 1973, following the recommendations of the Nixon administration's National Commission on Marijuana Use (also known as the Shafer Commission). Nebraska was the last, in 1979. Another state, Mississippi, decriminalized marijuana possession in the '70s but later recriminalized it as a misdemeanor offense. The state of decriminalization in Alaska is unclear. A 1975 state Supreme Court decision decriminalized marijuana possession, but voters approved a state referendum in 1990 that recriminalized all possession. Subsequent court rulings have upheld the 1975 decision, but the state's high court hasn't ruled on the matter, so the law remains ambiguous. What does it mean to decriminalize possession? Decriminalization treats the possession of small amounts of marijuana (such as 1 ounce) as a civil, rather than a criminal, offense. Offenders are given a citation and fined, and their marijuana is confiscated. Possession of larger amounts is still a criminal offense because it implies an intent to sell. (The laws differ from state to state. Ohio, for example, decriminalizes possession of up to 100 grams, or 3.5 ounces. Click here <http://www.natlnorml.org/legal/state_laws1.shtml> for a state-by-state guide to marijuana penalties.) Legalization, as opposed to decriminalization, would create a legal, regulated market for marijuana, presumably with age limits and quality controls similar to those placed on alcohol. Decriminalizing possession is also different from the decriminalization of "medical marijuana," which allows patients to use and sometimes cultivate marijuana for therapeutic purposes, with the permission of a doctor. ------------------     | ||

Too bad this pothead here dwarfs 95% of all AS users ever(like ever in the history and shit) and then proceeds to blow herb smoke in there face and take their women at the same time. Patience, Discipline, Determination, Omniscience in this game and diet is what its all about. Herb is the glue that brings it all together. peace to all ------------------ [This message has been edited by havoc (edited February 15, 2001).] | ||

hey any valididty? "Those of you that still have a turn table and a vinyl copy of Queen's Another One Bites The Dust can manually reverse the play at the chorus line and hear something that very much sounds like "It's fun to smoke marajuana". Back tracking or coincidence? " | ||

Shags - coincedence. Ive used backward masking before when recording. It sounds normal when you play it backwards. The stuff on that Queen album is too muddled to have been done on purpose. Im high most of the time - even at work. Is that wrong? hehe I also lead the sales department, and manage over half of the companies employees, own my own company on the side, and rarily miss a workout. Did I mention Im high all the time? Havoc - whats your favorite flavor bro? Mine - B2, real Skunk #1, and just about any blueberry hybrid. | ||

Moderator, whenever, I'll post one when I have one to post, not really on the top of my priority list. Gearseeker- purple kush, Ak-47 and really any well grown Sativa brother. Currently I have Mr.Nice Guy, Sensi Skunk, Great White Shark and Afghani which are either all Indicas or mostly indicas or half indica and sativa. I just made some Angel Food Herb Cake with the Mr. Nice Guy which is g-13 crossed with hash plant, should be an interesting night. ------------------ | ||

G-13 is very nice. Jack Herrer bud is cool Ive gotten high with Jack on two occasions at hemp festivals. He was a nice dude. I smoked with him once and the bud he had looked like average commercial. It completely kicked my ass, and I would challange anyone to a smoking contest. I had the giggles for two hours. |
